AGP #375 - “The Beast” - Modified: 18th October 2022
(3 String Relict Guitar)
Scale : 648mm / 25½inches
Strings : .044NW/ .028NW / .020NW /
Tuning: G / D / g /

All Timbers are Recycled & Free, the Body (I think?) is Spotted Gum, the Round Part of the Neck (I think?) is Meranti, the Fretboard is Spruce Pine, and the Headstock is Grey Ironbark, a 24k Chinese Ebay Dual Rail 4 Coil Humbucker is wired through Vol & Tone Pots to the Output Jack.

A Modified Build from 2½ years ago, Named “The Beast” due to the 24k High Output Quad Rail Humbucker, this Baby does put out a bit of Neighbour Annoying Noise.

The modifications were: [1] cutting a 20mm thick section off the Top. [2] Hollowing out the Body with a Hammer and Chisel, to try and make it a bit lighter, the original was 3.7kg, now 3.2kg. [3] The addition of Vol & Tone Pots. [4] Giving all Timber one coat of Shellac to enhance the colours of the natural Wood. :-)

"Thanks UJ", the pics were taken on an overcast day, in between the odd shower of light rain :-)
